title: Hemoglobin J--as a cause of congenital hemolytic anemia.
abstract: Hemoglobin-J is a rare hemoglobin variant known to be clinically silent most of the times, only to be detected accidentally. Herein, the authors report a case of Hemoglobin-J manifesting as unstable hemoglobin detected during evaluation of hemolytic anemia in an 8 month-old-infant. Cation Exchange-High Performance Liquid Chromatography(CE-HPLC) was used to identify this variant after Hb electrophoresis was reported to be normal.
